- Abstract
Introduction: Aortic root dilatation is a frequent disease affecting mostly young patients that often requires surgical repair. Surgical techniques in young patients include aortic valve-sparing procedures to avoid prosthetic valve implant., Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe the results obtained in three patients with aortic root dilatation using the Florida Sleeve technique., Methods: From November 2015 to January 2017, three patients with severe aortic regurgitation due to aortic anuloectasic were intervened applying the Florida Sleeve technique., Results: Excellent postoperative results were obtained in the three cases including freedom of aortic regurgitation and any cause re-operation during three years of follow-up., Conclusion: The Florida Sleeve technique is a safe, reproducible technique with a learning curve and lower surgical times than traditional techniques. The medium-term clinical outcomes in terms of morbidity and mortality are good.
